Host

Dear industry colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that I am able to declare the ADIPEC 2017 call for papers now open. Do not miss your chance to be part of the ADIPEC 2017 experience. I encourage you to submit a technical paper for this year’s conference.

With market conditions beginning to stabilise after a challenging couple of years, there has never been a better time to be part of ADIPEC. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, ADIPEC will open its doors to the public from 13 - 16 November 2017. This year’s edition of the show promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

By submitting abstracts for ADIPEC 2017, you have the chance to shape and influence the topics that the industry will be talking about at this year’s event. ADIPEC 2017 is the perfect platform for you to share your knowledge and expertise.

Last year, ADIPEC attracted record numbers of attendees, with over 96,000 people converging on Abu Dhabi to participate in the event. ADIPEC’s prestigious conference was the most successful to date, with more than 750 expert speakers hosting 162 individual conference sessions. From upstream exploration and production technologies, to plant optimisation in the downstream sector, every aspect of the hydrocarbon value chain is analysed, debated and discussed at ADIPEC.

This year, the technical categories for paper proposals are more comprehensive than ever before with three additional categories. Papers will be accepted under the categories of: E&P Geoscience; Unconventional Resources; Field Development; Drilling and Completion Technology, Project Engineering and Management; Operational Excellence; HSE; Gas Technology; People and Talent; Offshore and Marine; IOR/EOR, Production Facilities Technologies; and Petroleum Advanced Analytics.

As a technical expert you are invited to demonstrate a pioneering technology that you have been involved with, an innovative strategy or solution to a particularly challenging problem on which you have worked, or exemplify best practice in an area that could significantly boost performance in the energy sector.

If you have first-hand experience in any of these areas and would like to share your knowledge with the energy sector’s most influential minds, I encourage you to submit your abstracts before 2 May 2017 to be considered to present at the region’s biggest oil and gas event. We look forward to reviewing your submissions.

Yours sincerely,

Ali Khalifa Al ShamsiCEO, Al Yasat Petroleum Operations Company Ltdand Chairman of ADIPEC 2017

CALL FOR PAPER GUIDELINESSUBMISSION DEADLINE 2 MAY 2017

Abstract ContentA proper review of your abstract requires that it contains adequate information on which to make a judgment. Written in English and containing 450 words, paper proposals should include the following:

• Objectives/Scope: Please list the objectives and/or scope of the proposed paper. (25–75 words)

• Methods, Procedures, Process: Briefly explain your overall approach, including your methods, procedures and process. (75–100 words)

• Results, Observations, Conclusions: Please describe the results, observations and conclusions of the proposed paper. (100–200 words)

• Novel/Additive Information: Please explain how this paper will present novel (new) or additive information to the existing body of literature that can be of benefit to and/or add to the state of knowledge in the petroleum industry. (25–75 words)

Technical CategoriesUse the topics to indicate the topic that best describes your paper proposal. A primary choice is required. Paper proposals are evaluated on the basis of the information supplied on the paper proposal form in accordance with the following criteria:

• The proposed paper or eposter must contribute to petroleum technology or be of immediate interest to the oil and gas industry, and should contain significant new knowledge or experience in the oil and gas industry.

• Data in the paper proposal must be technically correct.• The proposed paper or eposter may present information

about equipment and tools to be used in exploration and production. Such paper proposals must show the definite applications and limitations of such equipment and should avoid undue commercialism and extensive use of trade names.

• The substance of the proposed paper or eposter must not have been published previously in trade journals or in other professional or technical journals.

Prior to paper proposal submission, management clearance must be obtained. Any issues concerning clearance should be outlined when the paper proposal is submitted.

CommercialismEnter a title that is concise, yet descriptive of the primary content and application of the proposed paper. SPE has a stated policy against use of commercial trade names, company names, or language that is commercial in tone in the paper title, text or slides. Use of such terms will result in careful scrutiny by the programme committee in evaluating paper proposals and the presence of commercialism in the paper or poster may result in it being withdrawn from the conference programme.

Guidelines for Accepted Paper Proposals• Your paper proposal could be accepted for presentation

in a technical or eposter session.• Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be required to

provide a manuscript of (3000–7000 words) for inclusion in the conference proceedings. SPE operate a “no paper, no podium” policy whereby if a manuscript with the associated forms is not received by the due date, it will be withdrawn from the programme and not allowed to be presented.

• Detailed instructions on the preparation of manuscripts and presentations will be sent to corresponding author of each accepted paper.

• SPE assumes no obligation for expenses by authors for travel, lodging, food, or other incidental expenses.

• Accepted authors will be offered a discounted full conference registration fee.

CopyrightAll authors of papers or eposters presented at the conference will be required to complete and submit a copyright release form to SPE or submit the copyright exemption form where applicable.

Submittal• Obtain the necessary clearance for the proposed paper

from your management.• Submit your paper proposal online. It is critical that all

information requested on the form be provided in full and in the order requested. The deadline is 2 May 2017.

An agreement to present a paper at this SPE conference carries an obligation to participate in the event. Manuscripts will be required. Authors whose paper proposals are accepted will be expected to provide a manuscript for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings. Authors who do not submit a manuscript and the associated forms by the due date will be withdrawn from the programme and not allowed to present.

For more information pertaining abstract submittal and SPE conference policy, please visit: http://www.spe.org/authors/papers.php

Technical and poster presentations for the conference will be selected from paper proposals submitted to the conference programme committee. Early submission is particularly important to ensure that the committee members have ample time to review the paper proposals. Late paper proposals will not be accepted.

The deadline is 2 May 2017.
